No. None of the Group 1 and Group 2 elements of the periodic table, the alkali and alkali earth metals respectively, stay shiny when exposed to air. They all react with moisture in air, and they tarnish quickly. A number of other metals will not stay shiny, either. Iron can be polished, but it will oxidize (rust) if left in air. Some metals will not react with air or the moisture in it, and some will. The results are mixed in that there are a lot of transition metals (Groups 3 through 12 on the Periodic Table), and each one would have to be evaluated independently (or with its "group mates") to discover if it would stay shiny. Links are provided to some relevant Wikipedia articles. The links are to the groups of metals, and each element in the Group chart is a hyperlink to that element. It should make it easy to do a quick search of the metals to get a complete answer, if that is what is desired.
